Renee AdamsLCSW

Renee Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She has 13 years of experience working across mental health, medical, and legal settings. She talks plainly and focuses on helping people use their strengths to meet hard moments, including pregnancy and childbirth related concerns.

Renee approaches therapy from a client-centered point of view. That means she treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds conversations around their priorities. She also uses solution-focused ideas to help people identify small, practical steps that lead to change.

Her background includes inpatient and outpatient mental health work and time in medical and hospital environments. Those roles shaped an ability to respond to mood concerns, stress, and life transitions with practical supports. She has also worked with issues related to postpartum depression, adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress.

Sessions aim to be straightforward. Renee listens first, helps clarify goals, and then looks for realistic options that fit a person's day-to-day life. She draws on strengths clients already have and adds problem-solving tools when needed.

People who come to her often seek help for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and self-esteem challenges. She also addresses social anxiety, first responder and veteran concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and women's issues. The therapist encourages newcomers to take the first step and see how conversations can change what feels stuck.

How client-centered and solution-focused work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person's story and letting their priorities guide the work. It helps when someone needs to feel heard, build confidence, and decide what matters most to them. Solution-focused therapy looks for small, practical steps and changes that can be tried right away to improve daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which mix of listening and problem-solving will fit their goals and preferences. That can change over time as needs shift, especially around major life events like pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, or caregiving roles.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy routine by reducing travel time and making it easier to attend shorter check-ins around work or appointments. It can also allow sessions when less visual contact is needed, or when a quieter audio conversation better suits the moment. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered listening and solution-focused tasks to work well in remote sessions, and the therapist will help plan practical, doable steps that fit everyday life.
